The MacDonald Family

God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you
And whispered “Come to Me”.
In tears we watched you suffer
And saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands put to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
